    • HIVE 50 CATEGORY: STRATEGY



    Katerra was formed in 2015 around the idea that the U.S. construction industry is ripe for disruption. The Menlo Park, Calif.–based startup, founded by Michael Marks, Jim Davidson, and Fritz Wolff, applies systems approaches, supply chain innovations, and modern technological advances to the traditional building process. The current Katerra construction package incorporates factory-built panels and components in place of site-built structures or full modular units. This has provided the firm’s projects with greater cost savings compared with those of traditional modular building processes, along with a reduced need for on-site labor, material resources, and construction time. The firm’s contracting covers both multifamily and commercial projects, and it is ranked among the top 25 multifamily contractors in the nation. Its current focus is the creation of efficient construction processes for high-quality, sustainable workforce housing.
